What to know before the deposit
We found no provincial mover licence in New Brunswick. FCNB takes formal complaints about the conduct of a person or company in the sectors it regulates; movers are not on its list, so the written contract is the protection.
A move that crosses into another province or the US follows the contract and the rules where the company is based. Ask, in writing, which company holds your goods on the road and what it pays per pound or per item if something breaks.

Questions people ask
- Do movers need a licence in New Brunswick?
- Canada has no federal mover licence, and we found no provincial one in New Brunswick. A commercial carrier based here holds a National Safety Code number from the province, which is a trucking safety credential, not a mover licence. Ask for it, and check that the legal name matches the truck.
- Where do I complain about a mover in New Brunswick?
- Financial and Consumer Services Commission (FCNB). Keep the contract, the invoice, and every written message. A card payment can also be disputed with your issuer.
- What does a move within New Brunswick cost?
- Reviewers reported a median of C$1,000 for moves that stayed inside New Brunswick, across 28 priced reviews. A reported price is what one household paid, not a quote.
